Salesflare auto-fills a CRM from your email, calendar, and signature scans so reps barely type, priced per seat for small B2B teams. Orbit is a simple all-in-one CRM for one person with an AI assistant, Hiro, that drafts follow-ups, writes proposals, and manages tasks on your approval. Salesflare automates the data entry. Orbit keeps the whole business simple and does the busywork.
Salesflare's whole pitch is "stop typing." It pulls contacts and companies from your email and calendar, scans signatures, logs meetings and calls automatically, and reminds you when a deal has gone quiet. For B2B teams that hate manual CRM upkeep, that automation is a real relief, the record fills itself.
It is especially good for small B2B sales teams selling deal by deal: a clean pipeline, automatic activity capture, email sequences, and a Gmail and Outlook sidebar that keeps the CRM where you already work. If your main pain is that nobody updates the CRM, Salesflare solves it. Check their site for current per-seat plans.
Both hate busywork. They take different amounts of it off your plate.

Salesflare and Orbit share a belief: a CRM should not make you type. Salesflare nails that with automatic capture from your inbox and calendar, so the record fills itself. Orbit takes a different path. It does not scrape your inbox in the background, but its built-in email inbox keeps every message on the contact timeline, the Chrome extension saves people from LinkedIn in one click on Pro, and Hiro drafts the next move. Salesflare reminds you a deal went quiet. Orbit can draft the bump for you to approve.
So the honest framing is: if you only want the CRM to fill itself from email, Salesflare does that better. If you also want the next action drafted and the back office in one place, Orbit fits, because Hiro drafts follow-ups, proposals, and invoices, and invoicing and proposals are built in. This is where AI follow-up is worth more than another reminder you still have to act on.
Be clear-eyed on the difference: Salesflare's auto-capture from email is central to its product, while Orbit does not sync your inbox automatically. The free plan covers 250 contacts, one pipeline, unlimited tasks, a calendar, a built-in email inbox (100 sends a month), and basic Tables, and Hiro runs on free monthly AI credits, included on every plan, no API key to paste.

Yes. Orbit is a simple all-in-one CRM with one assistant, Hiro, that drafts follow-ups, proposals, and invoices, plus a built-in email inbox and one-click LinkedIn saves on Pro. Salesflare is the focused pick if your only need is automatic data capture from email for a small B2B team.
No. Salesflare's automatic capture from email and calendar is central to its product. Orbit does not scrape your inbox in the background.
